"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

OK, I've been learning some Mystery Method from a pua. I don't know a lot about it, but I am reading up. Right now, I'm learning about how to read IOI's (indicators of interest).

One question: is it an IOI if a girl leans in and starts talking/whispering in your ear every time? She's not touching me per se (one IOI) but it feels like an IOI to me. Is this right?

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Mystery lists them in his book, VAH, that you can buy on his website. It only costs a few dollars.

It's very handy to have for other reasons
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

OK, now what if a girl looks at you over her shoulder, but right past you. Like I was at a bookstore and this girl kept looking directly at me over her shoulder, but she was acting like she was looking for someone or something just behind me.

This sometimes happens at the bar too. I've always ignored it, thinking it was insignificant. Is this an IOI also?
